The following is my feedback alone. I like to remind people when I do share it, that these are my thoughts alone and I as one viewer may not make up the general opinion of your viewing demographic.
The Good:
Minimal editing and my prior comments about your audio balance have been resolved for the most part. I’d still argue that gameplay audio is a better choice, but it’s low enough to point that it doesn’t impact your voice anymore.
You utilise a great amount of footage and place it within relevant points of the video, something a fair few reviewers don’t do these days. Hell, even I’ve done that. It’s a welcome change and helps further push points you are making about the product.
The Bad:
Always use transparent logos for transitions, save them as pngs. Every modern gaming website has a press pack page providing such assets, take advantage of them. I am mentioning this as your cutaway to the logo was on a white background; with the subtitles font also being white. More so a general hint than a bad point.
You stumble at points with your VO, which impacts the flow and delivery. Re-recording lines or entire paragraphs can really help with a video. Tedious yes, but something we have to often deal with as content creators.
Minor nit-pick, but I’d drop the episodic titles for videos. It will result in the videos appearing more in LP search algorithms than actual reviews. Large gaps between content also date and age videos, so doing it by number based entries can also hurt potential viewership.
Overall:
Gradual improvements from the last video I commented on by you. It’s just a case of fine tuning and perfecting the minor aspects and elements prevalent. Given the ratio you are making content, you’ll have it down in no time.

Always look forward to your feedback. I was actually going to use the game music this time, but I actually couldn't find it anywhere. The only music I could get was from the main menu, and I didn't want to stretch that out over 7 minutes. Next video I'll definitely try it out. The stumbling I admit was pure laziness coming from me  . |

I'd not heard of this until watching your video and you've done a good enough video explaining what's what! Only things I could have picked out Tentacle has already noted, being the voiceover trips (I do this too) and the images having the white background. I pretty much collect PNG images or make my own if need be by this point, Ive always liked my logos with the transparent background. One idea perhaps a visual bulletpoint rundown of the good/bads at the end? Only say that cause I've seen it done with one other channel that's doing similar style which I like, But yeah nice job anyways! I shall continue to watch your others as they happen  |

You do a good job coming off as presentable here. I like the delivery. The way you deliver information just feels relaxed and peaceful.
This to me seems like your strong point, but if I'm being honest it's the very same reason I got bored rather quickly (Keep in mind I had no prior interest in the game which may have impacted my experience)
You have a good voice for the style your going for, but ultimately I know I'm biased towards more charismatic voice overs.
As for the editing, I can't complain to much overall.
Pretty solid video. Keep it up.

I shall continue to watch your others as they happen Thanks Petronious! Will be curating my images more closely from now on. I've actually thought about the bullet list before. I do it on my steam reviews anyway because they make text reviews more interesting, so I could just throw it in here too. |

I've been dealing with the voice issue since my first video - it's gotten better but I'm always trying to improve! I complain about it too Thanks for the feedback. |
